Rubber piston rings.

Rubber piston seals or piston rings are used in hydraulic cylinders for fluid sealing. Rubber o ring vulcanization bonding duration. Piston seals maintain sealing contact between a piston and cylinder bore. Explore the extensive marco rubber database to buy o rings.

The friction made by piston rings is roughly 33 of the total resistance of the engine. Rubber seal 156 352 views. As rings become thinner this heat transfer function becomes even more critical. Speak with a product expert.

Before we delve into materials the responsibilities of a piston ring must be reviewed. New piston rings tecumseh briggs honda small engine duration. Having a suitable piston ring will minimize its friction and maintaining an excellent sealing to increase the lifespan of the engine. While sealing combustion pressure is the obvious goal an equally important function is to transfer heat from the piston to the cylinder wall.

With strong alliances to specialty molding houses we can provide custom molded shapes and hard to find sizes and materials. Stocked in our 10 000 square foot warehouse and available for immediate delivery we have everything from simple o rings to complex metal bonded to rubber products. Explore specialty and standard o ring products and availability. To minimize this they are made of wear resistant materials such as cast iron and steel and are coated or treated to enhance the wear resistance.

Piston rings are subject to wear as they move up and down the cylinder bore due to their own inherent load and due to the gas load acting on the ring. They are internal to the cylinder head and seal against the cylinder bore preventing fluid from flowing across the cylinder head. The rubber piston ring should fit perfectly to avoid thermal throttle and severe damage to the engine.
